Batboard

I had already programmed this radio a day or two prior, but I need to change the MDC ID and now I cant read/write the radio.

When I attempt to write the radio I get the message, "Unable to get codeplug from the device in order to verify wether we can write to this device or not"

When I attempt to read the radio I get the message, "Couldnt open port. Check wether device/rib are powered on or not, and the device to rib, and the rib to pc connections are ok"

I can program the other radios (same model/firmware version ect) just not this one. I am using a ebay ribless cable, but dont see that being the problem since it works on the other radios. What could it be?

Radio is R05.13.04
Cps is R06.12.02

Change the housing and try it again.

I once had the same exact problem as you. It was a brand new housing case, too!

It turned out that there was something about this housing case that made it absolutely required to program the radio with a real OEM programming cable. I could program any other radio with my cheap ribless eBay cable, but not this radio. I switched to the Motorola OEM cable and presto it worked.

I ended up changing the housing to that of an older radio so that we could continue to program it using the ribless USB eBay cable. I still would love to know WHY this was the case. Oh well.
